Islanders at Capitals 1/18/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Islanders have been playing at a high level and for some they would actually say the Islanders are playing above any level they should be playing at. However, the Islanders are a team that would like to be able to come into Washington and pull off what many would consider to be a major upset and that is a distinct possibility in this game here.

Mathew Barzal is the leader for the Islanders with a total of 43 points, which he has 30 assist on the year so far. The leading goal scorer for the Islanders on the year has been Anders Lee who has managed to get a total of 16 goals on the year. The Capitals have to end the losing streak they have had lately. The Capitals have dropped 3 games straight and that is something the Capitals would like to change here as the Capitals have a really talented roster, but what is even worse is the losing streak has cost the Capitals first place in the Metro Division as the Blue Jackets have finally moved into first again.

The Capitals on the year have been able to rely on Alex Ovechkin to do most of the scoring as he has managed to get 52 points on the year with 33 goals. The man who has been feeding the puck most of the season has been John Carlson who has managed to get 37 assist.
